Human Trafficing

Since the collapse of the communist government of many Eastern European countries Human Trafficing has become a series problem. The individual seek out places where young, inocent, and poor girls are. And prey upon them like the buzzards they are. Why? Greed. The young and inocent girls are niave. They are presented with a job opportunity that looks good on paper. However, before these girls realize it their so far in debt to the ruthless bastards that there is now way out for them except death.

The majority of them are moved by the idea of helpping their families financially. Their inexperince in life leads them to go to the modeling try out not realizing that it's a trap and nothing more. The interview proccess looks real and their are actual models there. Who are just as greedy and these ruthless bastards are. They either don't care about what their doing or are blindly lead into the proccess. Very rarely does the modeling jobs pan out.

Then one day these girls wake wonder where in hell they went wrong. Their in debt for cash up in the thousands of dollars. The interest keeps building up. The torture of day to day life is getting worse and worse. They are raped, beaten, and broken by the time they pay off their debt if they ever get their debt that they really don't see any reason to keep living. Their tired, have no other marketable skills besides being a prostitute, and they certianly can't go back home because by this time they are here illegally. So deportation is a death sentence.


The next problem this way of life presents is young girls being here without any record of them ever had entered the country (or any other country). You have corrpt politicains who turn a blind eye and allow this to happen right under their noses. Corrpt border patrol officers. Especially when the brib is the girls themselves. What man is going to say no to a freebie with a prostitute when he's been working a 20 hour shift and hasn't seen his spouse in a couple of days for more than twenty minutes.

The fall out of this situation is one which can be dealt with if the world communittee steps up and starts educating their daughters, mothers, sisters, and male members of there families. Education truely is the best medication in this pleague. First we have to be willing to addment the problem exist. Second, we have got to talk about it. Third, law enforcement committees have to be given the tools needed to address the trafficing and the trafficors. They also need the education to deal with the victims of the trafficors. These children are inocent. Their lives have been shredded.

They should be treated as the victim not as the criminals. Alot of them run a risk escaping. Most who do escape can never go home and they can't make a home anywhere because their in danger because of what they know. Their fate is sealed if they stay. Majority of them will die at the hands of their master for some infraction once they become no longer desired by clients, they will committ sucide, and worst yet they will have spread A.I.D.S. with out every knowing it until they are checked or die from it themselves. Which ever of the above fates the fact is we are allowing this bastardly act to happen.

Education

The simple fact is that education is the only way we're ever going to stop this pleague on humanity. We need to stablize fromer communitist governments. Especially their economy. After all that is what kicked this pleague off to begin with. When a government falls with a saftynet there will be consequences. Prepare for the consquences with a gradual change in government and the out come may very well be defferent. I'm not saying it's absolutey they only way. But it makes a hell of a lot more since to switch governments step by step. Rebuild education systems. That is so important.

Laws

We can pass laws untill the moon turns to cheese. If you can't catch the trafficors when they are trafficing what good does it do. Here is a crazy idea: Enforce the laws in existence. Stop throwing laws and money at the problem. And as long as diplomats, politicans, and law enforcement personel are willing to turn a blind eye to what's going on under their noses, than no law will stop trafficing.

Bottom Line

Bottom line is this education, prevention, and preperation, are the keys to not just control human trafficing but stop it.

Education: Talk damnit. Talk about what is going on in the world with your children. Talk with your nieghbors, friends, relatives, and your shrink. If you see the gentelman down the street return from a trip over seas return with a "nanny" introduce yourself to the "nanny". If you see a basement being remolded and the "nanny" comes up missing shortly after, don't be afraid to investigate. Because my friend there's something screwy about that picture. Don't assume someone would never do something this horrible. Because they will and probble have in the past and you just don't know it.

Prevention: This goes back to educaiton and that goes back to talk about it. The more voices children and the poor have the less likely they are to wind up a slave. If they know they can go somewhere, that they have alternatives, and that people care, their more likely to reach out for a hand up. Talk to law enforcement personel and have them talk to schools about offers that seem to good to be true. Tell kids about the traps these ruthless bastards use. Teach kids how to get out of a nasty situation. Always reassure them that they can come home no matter what they've done. Forgiveness is just a phone call away.

Preperation: Here's my soap box. If you're going to invade a country prepear for the fall out afterwards. We went helter skelter in Vietnam and came home with our tails between our legs. Kam Rouge recked hell in Cambodia. Genocide, rape, and torture became a way of life for Cambodian people. We had no preperation for the fall out. Yet we are repeating this mistake in Iraq. The government has collapsed and we're rebuilding. We planned on the rebuilding proccess. So there's not much human trafficing going on. Why? Preperation. While I'm sure there was probably human trafficing in Cambodia, I doubt it was as bad as remaining in Cambodia could've been.

I'm not saying these are the answers, they should be considered.
